River banks are the river's edge. They are on both sides of the river and are usually sandy, unless in tropical climates, where the banks can be mossy and green. If you follow a river, it's the banks you want to stay near. The banks are also where boaters land their boats so that the tide won't carry them downstream.
Hope this helps!

(Also, your map is wrong. Bolivia has two capitals: La Paz and Sucre (right below where the "o" is))

In this diagram (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Amazon_river_basin.png), the blue lines are the Amazon River and its tributaries. The names in blue are the names of the tributary rivers.

The gray lines are the borders of countries. However, the labels are missing from the 3 small countries at the top, which are Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.

The shaded blue area is the drainage basin of the Amazon River system. Any rain that falls anywhere in this shaded area will collect in streams that eventually flow into the Amazon.

At this scale, each river, even the Amazon itself, is just a slender blue line on the map. The left and right banks are not drawn separately.

The banks of a river are the sides (left and right) of each river (blue lines) you see on the map you provided.

The deep blue are rivers and tributaries and the shaded area describes the drainage area. Some fo the rivers and streams are also aligned with country borders. It helps to actually try and think when you do your homework.

Rivers are blue lines, national borders are black ones.
